undipped
Kept above surface
Undipped describes something that has not been dipped or submerged in a liquid or coating.
The word appears most often in contexts where dipping is standard practice: undipped headlights (British for high beams not dimmed for oncoming traffic), undipped candles (not coated in wax), or undipped sheep (not treated with pesticide solution).
The negative form implies dipping is the expected default.
